LOVEBUG ALERT! GORGEOUS ORANGE BOY IS A SWEETHEART

Hello friends! My name is Wildfire. I was found wandering alone outside. Thank goodness a kind person found me, recognized my wonderful qualities and introduced me to King Street Cats so that I can find the forever home I'm going to brighten with my happy presence.

My new friends here at KSC are saying the nicest things about me! It's obvious that I was meant to be an indoor kitty loved and cherished by a forever family. I am as sweet as can be with a friendly, happy, and affectionate purrsonality. I get along very well with all of my new feline friends here in the KSC cat room. I get along with all my new human friends too - I greet each one of them with my big bright golden eyes and a happy purr. I'm the definition of a sweetheart!

I'm a young boy of three (3) years old. This is a purrfect adoption age - my personality has established itself as the wonderful thing that my friends can't say enough about. I'm still a kid but I know better than to behave like a wild and rambunctious little tyke who's still learning the ropes. I'm past that!

My friends describe me as gorgeous. How flattering! I have honey-colored fur that is short and silky soft. My bright golden eyes complete this warm and inviting color scheme. I've got a little salmon-pink nose to nudge you with and let you know that you're mine, I approve of you and I want to keep you!

I'm social and curious and I love watching my people as well as my cat friends. I'm quick to join in when there's a good time to be had. I'd love to find a home where my presence is always welcome and my friendly and affectionate nature allows me constant access to my humans. I'll soak up the attention you give me and radiate my happiness back to you with satisfied purrs.

My KSC friends say that I'll find my forever home in no time because I am simply a wonderful boy. Please come to meet me and I'll prove it to you! Please send an email to contact@kingstreetcats.org and ask for me, Wildfire. I can't wait to go home!

About Our Shelter...

We are proud to be the only cat-exclusive orphanage in Alexandria, Va. We have been in operation since 2003, and were previously known as The Albert Foundation for many years before becoming King Street Cats. Because we are a free-roaming and no-kill cat orphanage, we have the "cat-friendliest cats" in town! Our primary purpose is to educate and assist the community in regard to cat welfare, and to provide loving homes for the cats and kittens in our care. We accomplish this through outreach to the local community by providing information on proper cat care, behavioral problems and medical issues involving cats. We also assist local residents in locating and retrieving lost cats and assist individuals through the cat adoption process. We provide abandoned and rescued cats and kittens with a safe and secure temporary home until a permanent, loving home can be found.

We promote spaying and neutering and all our cats and kittens are sterilized and fully up-to-date on all medical care prior to adoption. We also provide post-adoption support for adopters and anyone else that needs cat care advice. Because we only work in the area of cat welfare .... we know cats! Please stop by and visit with our friendly cats.

Come Meet Our Pets...

Adoptions at 25 Dove St (the King Street Cat home) are every Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30 pm

Additional Adoption Events:- Petco at Beacon Hill on the first Saturday of the month (1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.) - Profeed at Bradlee Shopping Center on Saturdays and Sundays (1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.)- Petsmart at Falls Church on 3rd/4th Sunday of the month (1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.)

Our Adoption Process...

Our adoption process is simple. When you come to the adoption center, you will fill out an application and a volunteer will interview you and ask about your cat knowledge and experience as well as your other pets. If your application is approved, they will help match you to the cat is perfect for your home and lifestyle. Some adult cats may be adopted singly, but we prefer to adopt out kittens in pairs unless you have a playful cat or dog already in residence to keep the kitten company.

King Street Cats asks for a $125 non-refundable adoption fee to adopt a cat or kitten, or $225 to adopt two. The fee includes:

- A cat that has been to a vet and tested for FELV/FIV. They are not put up for adoption unless the tests are negative (although sometimes we do have an FIV-positive cat that is healthy and can be adopted). - An adult cat that is up-to-date on vaccinations before being made available for adoption. (Kittens will have had vaccinations appropriate for their age) - Cats and kittens are spayed or neutered before they are placed for adoption. Kittens are spayed/neutered between 12-14 weeks and are then available for adoption. - Post-adoption support: our volunteers are very knowledgeable about cat care. We encourage adopters to call us with any questions.
